reviews from authentic leadership retreats

sabine muckel, marketing director

I had the privilege of joining Philip’s Authentic Leadership retreats and personal coaching sessions, which literally changed the way I lead myself and my team. Philip has the unique ability to sense people’s values and barriers and coach them towards a better version of themselves.
I am most grateful that Philip has supported me in my personal growth path by helping me understand what drives and hinders me as a person and leader and what impact this has on my team and my career. Invaluable!

benjamin wagner, head of technology

Philip is an exceptional coach who truly helped me understand my inner fears and identify and honor my core values. With his unbelievable experience, he led me on a path to find my purpose and taught me techniques and tools to evolve into and be the leader I want to be.
In the Authentic Leadership workshops and in my personal coaching sessions, I felt that he is a coach with every fiber of his being and for me he is an awesome authentic leader himself. It is unbelievable how far I have come with his help, in such little time.
Thank you, Philip, for your guidance, patience, and passion! Please keep doing what you do. It works!!!

stephanie metz, partner

I have experienced Philip in different roles and from several perspectives. As a participant in his training programmes and as a coachee, I was always grateful for his appreciative approach and ability to bring value while at the same time being challenging and goal-oriented. He is always focused on empowering the individual and, together with that, creating space for knowledge transfer and implementation as well as business impact.
As head of the corporate Academy of an international company, working together with Philip, he supported me and the company as a consultant, trainer and coach. We successfully collaborated on the following themes: leadership/executive development, change management & -leadership and cultural development. The special thing about Philip is his ability to work at eye level with the different hierarchical levels in the company and to connect with people from all kinds of cultures, thanks to his trustworthy, open, approachable and customer-oriented way of being.

katrin marx, head of global learning

Very experienced coach and trainer for modern human-centered leadership mindset and behavior change. It‘s been a great pleasure for me to work with him for many years in development and effective execution of leadership programs.

christian tauer, director consumer experience

Philip supported me during my leadership journey, helping me improve my leadership style and understand myself as a person and how I can follow my values and life purpose. It all starts with yourself. Understanding how to find inner balance, calmness, and peace can be a game changer in work and private life.
I can highly recommend working with Philip. Of course, one needs to be willing to learn and change. It’s a lot of work, but it’s worth it.

e-lin tan, global head – startup

Philip has a remarkable way of asking the right questions to open your eyes to the issue at hand, even if you are not quite conscious about the real problem. With his calm voice of experience, and his disciplined, structured approach, he guides you by showing that he is on your side to get to YOUR goal.
Philip has been instrumental in supporting me and my organisation on our journey of authentic leadership! A session (training or coaching) with Philip is always enriching and enlightening for the soul, heart and mind.

lorenz haschemi, managing director & co-founder

I highly recommend him to anyone thinking of collaborating with Philip.
Philip and I worked intensively on my personal management career during a challenging year in 2020.
We have discussed, in depth, my true goals and how I can develop and enhance my behavioural skills to become a true leader.
This type of development programme should be repeated many times throughout one’s career. With more experience and responsibilities, one must self-reflect and grow. I truly learned a lot about myself. One thing that was especially important to me is that Philip himself has tremendous working experience in different positions, companies, working environments, and strategies.
Therefore, he has a very bright overview of many situations and will always be straightforward and on point.

claudia winkler, head of people transformation

Philip manages to shake up your beliefs and principles in a short space of time and get you thinking in a completely new way. I have had three leadership training sessions with him, all of which have left a lasting impression on me. He works amazingly effectively, inspiringly, very professionally, and with sound experience.
Thanks to him, I discovered my values, my deeper fears, and even my personal purpose. Philip has significantly influenced my work as a manager and my career path.

pranav raval, chief strategy officer

Philip is a highly purpose-driven trainer and mentor. Through his extensive training programs, he has created many authentic leaders across the globe. He has a unique ability to connect with people and make them realise their values and higher purpose in life.
I met him during one such training program, and that became a life-changing moment for me. So, I wish he would become a game changer for many people and add value to society by creating more authentic leaders through his training and mentoring.

marie clouet, consultant

Working with Philip is always a real pleasure. His expertise in leadership development, his understanding, and his professionalism make every project a success. I particularly appreciate and admire his approach and the way he works with leaders.
Building a relationship of trust with his coachees, Philip’s method contributes to self-awareness and development. I can only recommend his services if you wish to become a better leader.
This will change your life/career.

 

what participants from authentic leadership retreats say

1. Apart from being very knowledgeable, I would say that one particular strength of Philip is his empathy and sense of "what's going on", which is a crucial skill in accompanying a team through a journey. He never gives you a sense of superiority or "I know better"; quite the contrary: he's an active listener, curious and ready to learn and never imposes views on you. And he is simply fun to be with.

2. Philip ist ein herausragender Trainer, Coach und Mensch! Ich kann jedem Menschen, der bereit ist, sich selbst und seine Beziehungen zu Menschen zu erforschen/ zu hinterfragen, eine Zusammenarbeit mit Philip nur wärmstens ans Herz legen! Es hat mein Leben sehr bereichert!

3. Working with Philip is fantastic. Every Interaction shows his passion and dedication to working with participants and supporting them in their journey to transform themselves

4. I did the Authentic Leadership training with Philip. I highly recommend this retreat and would book further training programmes with Philip in a heartbeat. Philip has found his purpose and lives it to the tips of his hair. Philip conveys training content in an understandable way, with a certain light-heartedness and humour, but also charmingly "steps on your toes" when necessary to get to the real root of the topic/issue.
Thanks for three intensive days that will have a lasting effect on me.

5. Philip geht sehr gut auf die eigene Situation und das darauf folgende Verhalten ein. Er ist mit seinen Methoden ein Katalysator um die eigenen Muster zu erkennen, daraus zu lernen und um sich selbst weiterzuentwickeln.

6. Philip is an extraordinary trainer and coach. When supporting others in finding their purpose and becoming authentic leaders, you can feel and experience that he lives up to his life purpose. Philip is very experienced and gives pragmatic support and advice that you can implement immediately and feel the impact.

7. Philip was an outstanding coach during a challenging time. With his help, I found my values, discovered my passions, and, above all, developed as a person. The sessions were intimate, quite humorous, and forward-looking, and I benefited from his life experience. I had great fun and experienced many valuable „development sprints. " Really great coaching, to the point.

8. What Philip helped me to achieve in our coaching process of over a year has far exceeded these expectations. He has a masterful way of guiding you towards powerful realizations and insights while maintaining calm, compassionate, highly focussed and hilariously funny. The journey with him has led me to make significant, positive changes in my work and personal life.
I am tremendously grateful to Philip and can only full-heartedly recommend working with him.

9. Philip is a truly excellent coach. Persistent when he feels my barrier. Challenging and honest in a constructive way. Supportive. Clear. I really like to follow his path. I have learned many things about myself, my values, my purpose, and my relationships. Step by step, I developed my set of tools with him. I am on a learning path with myself and test and experience the change. It has enriched my perspective.
